A LaGrange County boy reported missing late Sunday was found safe after hours of extensive search by police, dogs and volunteers.

According to the LaGrange County Sheriff's Department, deputies were dispatched to 4185 E. U.S. 20, LaGrange around 9:30 p.m. The boy’s parents said he was last seen a half-hour before wearing only orange swimming trunks.

A search of the house, garage and surrounding areas was conducted, with no results. Deputies called the sheriff’s department’s dive team to check a pond near the home.

Multiple K-9 units from several surrounding agencies were contacted in an attempt to track the missing boy. The Indiana State Police aviation unit flew over the area in an attempt to find him. All LaGrange County fire departments were called to provide manpower for a full ground search.

He was found by a family friend about two hours after emergency personnel responded, lying against a wood pile in a wooded area behind the home. The boy was examined by medical personnel and returned to his parents
